    • @ClayMann
      @ClayMann 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      +kitty buckley I gave up on Doctor who after the master Tom Baker left. It was all downhill from there. It's now some sort of Carry On Doctor Who dreadfully camp thing that I can't bare to watch. I can see there's real talent in there, the writing is top notch but its not Doctor Who. It's like a caricature of it. People do seem to love it in great numbers so I'm like, fine, go enjoy this thing.
      Richard Ayoade probably wouldn't be able to bare living within what Doctor Who is now. Unless he was himself a character like Moss but that wouldn't really work. He'd have to be a fairly dynamic character to fill the role. So really the only way I could see him playing the Doctor is for it to be completely re-written and I'd give him the reigns to do the writing. He's a brilliant writer, director and actor so I've no doubt he could pull something completely new off. But probably not what the new audience want. They want silly camp sci-fi with complex plots, lots of weird characters and a healthy dose of sexual tension. Still it would be fun reading the comments of outrage as Richard turns Doctor who into some kind of hard science fiction realism study like a cross between 2001 with Hal9000 and the IT Crowd like cast running the Tardis. hehe

    Wolf in White Van! What a cool thing to see. I wonder if he's a fan of the music, too, since it seems most people find John's books through having already known his music.

    I...... I freakin love this dude 😂😂
    His passive aggression, sarcasm, and making light of the situation right there by mentioning his satire of interviews/interviewers in general with it essentially flying right over the interviewer's head was just pure gold XD
    His casual tone of voice throughout the whole thing as if he's genuinely answering his questions makes it all the more hilarious.
    The irony of this is unrivaled and so is his sense of humor. It's bloody fantastic! 🤣👌

    2:03 - 2:25 is just so perfect. Older people think young people have it easy just because we have lots of little "apps" and "gadgets".
    If you ask any 20 - 30 year old in the UK what they want most in life, the answers will usually be: a job, a house and a family/stability.
    These days kids almost always *must* go to uni to get a "good" job, which means at the very least they will start working 3 years later than their parents did - that's a huge amount of income they're missing out on. Additionally, kids go to uni (and get into debt) to get into jobs which aren't really that much better paid than their parents'. The two above points, combined with the massive increase in UK house prices between 1990-present means that kids have been priced out of buying homes (ironically by their own parents).
    So you have this horrific set up where the rental market is maxed out, giving landlords (boomers) huge amounts of bargaining power, which allows them to set rent prices really high - further slowing down kids being able to buy their own homes.
    This all has a knock on effect where we are now seeing 'young adults' in their late 20s, with very little savings, working silly hours, and still renting. With all this instability, it's no wonder millenials are finding it harder to allocate time to finding partners and establishing families.
    And worst of all, their parents are asking them: "why haven't you bought a house yet? Why haven't you got married yet? Are we ever going to get grandchildren?"... to which I advise any young adult to respond with: "I'll do all those things when the generation before me stop stepping on my throat".

      @@semi-skimmedmilk4480 I'm from the UK. This [young] generation have it better than any other in history of our species but choose to blame others for having it so easy. As a consequence of having it so easy are not willing to go without, not have a new phone or car, not going on holiday, not going out every weekend, not buying now clothes, raking up debt and expecting others to bail them out. Try "going withoutand, making sacrifices and saving up to put a depositon a house. Instead of crying "issues young people face in my country ". If you want "issues, look in other European countries and stop moaning about how hard it is for you when in reality it's the best it's been in humanity.
